‍Say goodbye to paperwork and admin hassles - Medtrics takes medical school clerkship management to the next level.

As a former medical student who clerkships in New York City, and later as a resident and faculty member working with medical students, I know firsthand the importance of elective rotations in providing hands-on experience in various specialties. However, managing these rotations and other aspects of medical education can be a logistical nightmare for medical schools and clerkship departments. That's why I founded Medtrics, an enterprise SaaS company with a comprehensive medical education management software platform designed to simplify and centralize elective rotation management and full clerkship scheduling, evaluations, site management, and case logs. In this article, I'll delve into the issues faced by medical schools and how Medtrics' innovative solution enhances efficiency and ROI.

Problem: Overwhelming Elective Rotation Management Processes

During my time as a medical student, I saw many students spend a lot of time doing paperwork to get permission to do electives. Medical schools grapple with several issues when managing elective rotations and other aspects of medical education:

• Cumbersome paperwork: Applications, approvals, evaluations, and scheduling all require extensive documentation.
• Decentralized communication: Emails and phone calls make tracking information and maintaining records difficult.
• Time-consuming administration: With each student completing multiple electives, the process repeats thousands of times annually.

Clerkship departments are often overwhelmed with coordinating the complexities of scheduling, evaluations, site management, and case logs.

The Solution: Medtrics' Comprehensive Medical Education Management Platform

To address these challenges, Medtrics worked closely with our medical school clients to develop a comprehensive medical education management platform that streamlines not only elective rotation management. The elective rotation module, which will be implemented to manage electives for about 300 students each year, who will be going to hospitals all over the United States during their final year of medical school. 

Here's how the elective rotation module works:

• Efficient review and approval: Administrators can review, approve, or reject applications within the platform, eliminating tedious email chains.
• Automated schedule updates: Approved applications automatically update the student's schedule, keeping everyone informed and organized.
